Phoenix, AZ

Are you interested in serving your community and empowering the next generation of healthy leaders? Health Corps and our mission to improve the lives of youth both mentally and physically provides you the opportunity to do just that.

Who We Are

We're Health Corps - a national non-profit organization committed to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through programming that includes innovative and engaging experiences for teens in education, leadership, and service learning. We empower teens by encouraging them to become change agents within their families, schools and neighborhoods. Our program is grounded in the understanding that limited access to health education can lead to a lifetime of social, emotional and physical challenges.

At Health Corps, our values are the foundation of everything we do. We're driven by our mission, embrace an innovative and solutions-focused mindset, and believe that our people are our greatest strength. We thrive on collaboration, and we're committed to fostering an inclusive environment that respects and reflects the varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of our team members and the communities we serve.

Where You Fit In

We're looking for a creative, friendly, self-starter who will implement an innovative community-wide wellness program in Phoenix, AZ that empowers teens to make healthier choices for themselves and their families. You'll serve as a catalyst for sustainable change, promoting improved health and wellness within schools and the broader communities.

As a Regional Program Coordinator you will support a team of Regional Program Managers as they train, deploy and supervise near-peer college mentors from area universities to help deliver Health Corps' proven program in local middle schools. The program consists of health promoting events including our Teens Make Health Happen Club, health promoting campus activities, and community events. You will engage current and potential community stakeholders, including school, district, and university staff as well as strategic program partners, student wellness officers, and local alumni to develop a network of individuals and organizations with the common goal of improving the health and wellness of the community.
